The promotion of reading is a vital element of learning. Rave Reviews is designed to encourage this by giving 10-12 year old students an opportunity to show their appreciation of books in forms other than reviews and reports.

Activities are divided into Language, Art/Craft and Oral/Drama segments and lend themselves to class participation and the sharing of stimulating ideas.
